What is different about IT for education

Schools and colleges run dense, seasonal networks with thousands of devices they do not fully control, a student body that actively tests the boundaries, and a budget cycle that does not bend. Summer is when the work happens.

Compliance that actually bites

FERPA for student records, COPPA where under-13s are online, CIPA filtering where E-Rate funding applies, and state student-privacy statutes that often go further than federal law.

Questions worth asking a provider

  • How do you handle device management across student, staff and BYOD fleets?
  • What is your plan for the work that can only happen between terms?
  • How do you support E-Rate documentation if we claim it?
